Introduction
Carrot cake is a moist dense cake, traditionally served with cream cheese frosting. Because of all the sugar and oil it contains, it keeps for several days without getting stale. If you do use cream cheese frosting, however, you'll want to refrigerate the cake so that the frosting doesn't spoil. -
